Toronto @ Orlando preview

Last Meeting ( Feb 28, 2018 ) Toronto 117, Orlando 104

The Toronto Raptors watched their 11-game winning streak come to an end in a testy affair against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday that featured a trio of ejections. The Raptors will try to keep their emotions under control and get back in the win column when they begin a two-game trip by visiting the Orlando Magic on Tuesday.

Toronto coach Dwane Casey, All-Star shooting guard DeMar DeRozan and power forward Serge Ibaka were all sent to the locker room in the final minute on Saturday for complaining to the officials about calls, particularly when DeRozan appeared to be fouled on a layup attempt but did not draw a whistle. "He smacked the (stuff) out of me," DeRozan told reporters of Oklahoma City forward Corey Brewer. "He smacked me. He tried to smack me because I had a layup. Period. I got fouled." The Raptors should have an easier time against the Magic, who are losers of six of their last seven games and followed up a 126-117 win over Milwaukee to begin the homestand with a 92-83 loss to Boston on Friday. "That's one of the main things in this league -- you have to be consistent if you want to win," Orlando center Nikola Vucevic told reporters. "Not every game is going to be great. Some games are going to be not good or great, but you have to find something that you do well each game that can give you a chance every game. We've got to figure that out."

ABOUT THE MAGIC (21-49): Orlando whiplashed offensively from 72 points in a loss at San Antonio last Tuesday to 126 against the Bucks and 83 against the Celtics. "It's a little puzzling," Magic coach Frank Vogel told reporters. "You come back from the (10-day, five-game) trip that we had with that type of sleep adjustment, it takes a couple of days. To our credit, we mustered up a lot of energy on the first day back. Clearly, we didn't have the legs to make shots (Friday). That was evident both with our finishing at the rim and our perimeter shooting." Small forward Jonathon Simmons went 7-of-12 from 3-point range against Milwaukee but combined to go 2-of-11 against Boston and San Antonio.

ABOUT THE RAPTORS (52-18): The good thing to come out of Sunday's loss was that the team got another chance to experience a playoff-like atmosphere against a top-eight team from the Western Conference. "This is the intensity that the playoffs are going to be," Casey told reporters. "We've got to make sure we keep our composure. It's one game, it doesn't make or break our season. We knew we (weren't) going to run the table the rest of the season." The Raptors head to Cleveland on Wednesday before returning home and will play six of their final 10 games in Toronto, where they own an NBA-best 29-6 home record.
